How do I get back to playing vs the allies? Im currently playing at br3 Japan and im only seeing USSR or most of the time its them. I would like to go back to the islands or hotel map instead of back to back forest maps or the maze of building map.
What BR should I be playing to have a bigger pool of map rotations?
I play Japan BR1 and since release of new maps it has been vs USSR only. But the last couple of days pacific maps has started showing up again so there is hope.
Same. I haven’t seen Burma in over a week. I play random army and most of the time and I’ll be sent to play my BR II Japan lineup. In those matches, 4 out of 5 games it will be Heilongjiang. So there’s clearly a playerbase gap there. And that new map is starting to wear on me very quickly because of it.
Its random. I get a lot of USSR maps also but then I get a fair amount of Burma and Pacific as well.
Your own custom match guarantees you a match vs the allies. 
The only games I get lately if I choose to play either Soviets or Japanese is against each other. In my own custom matches, I can play who ever on which ever map. 
Yeah, against bots.
I am pretty sure BR3 is very stacked with a lot of player. Meaning you are much more likely to end up in Manchuria instead of the Pacific.
I don’t personnaly mind because I really like the new map while the pacific maps are probably the ones I hate the most. Except Burma, Burma is perfect.
But overall I share your experience, I have been playing BR2 Japan quite a lot since the update, and it is almost always against the soviets.
Keep in mind that Manchuria was recently added and the match making most likely treats the map as priority, hence you see it very often.
are you playing at br3 as well? im probably playing like 5 matches a day so maybe thats why im noticing it more
im trying to stack up research points and maxing out squads for something good that might come in the future. 
I played a BR3 Soviet game tonight since I have a total of 400% boosters trying to get some silver. I ended up playing the Germans instead of the Japanese, and lost. First time I have lost to the Germans playing as Soviets in quite a while. I used my four plane lineup as I didn’t really feel like mixing it on on the battlefield, and ended up second on the team. Lost, but got decent amount of silver, which is what I was shooting for.
